# Inforiver Writeback Matrix June 2025 - v4.5.3

This release primarily includes enhancements and bug fixes for the Inforiver scheduler. 

We've also added the SELECT\_BYINDEX function, which allows you to easily perform analysis in reports with time dimensions. Let's get into the updates.

## **New**

#### **SELECT\_BYINDEX**

In reports containing time-series columns (such as YQM, YQMD, and so on), the [SELECT](/formula-syntax/measure-column-selection-functions/select.md) function along with index-based identifiers could not access data outside the current column group. 

For example, users were unable to access the data column from the previous or the following year, limiting cross-year data analysis.

We now support this functionality by introducing the [**SELECT\_BYINDEX**](/formula-syntax/measure-column-selection-functions/select_byindex.md) function, which allows you to access data beyond the current time dimension group.

## **Enhancements**

Previously, subscription emails used to display the time only in UTC format in the subject line and body. This has been improved to clearly represent all time zones, such as UTC-8:00 (PST), UTC+5:30 (IST), and so on, to avoid ambiguities.

Please note that you must [insert the time variable in the email subject](https://docs.inforiver.com/release-notes/inforiver-writeback-matrix/pages/5g40AJRuiidhvIFabXw0#id-6.-subject) or body using the 'Insert variable' option to see the time information.

## **Bug Fixes**

1. **Issues with subscription-related consent emails resolved**

When Row-Level Security (RLS) or the Refresh Dataset option is enabled in report subscriptions, Inforiver sends consent emails to subscribed users and dataset owners. There were previous issues with consent emails not being delivered and user approvals not reflecting in Inforiver, which led to failed subscriptions. These issues have been resolved.&#x20;

2. **Non-adherence to RLS—resolved**

When subscribing to RLS-enabled reports, users were receiving the entire report despite the assigned security roles and data access restrictions. This bug has been resolved, and Inforiver delivers only relevant data based on assigned roles.

3. **Performance fix in circular reference formula measures**

We have addressed a performance issue in which reports containing measures/columns with circular reference formulas would slow down in response to user input or data changes. This issue has been resolved. Measures with circular references and other dependent formulas can now be edited seamlessly without any lag.

4. **Irrelevant file name in scheduler exports**&#x20;

Exported Excel reports generated by the scheduler previously displayed irrelevant report names. This has been fixed; exported file names will now match the report names correctly.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.inforiver.com/release-notes/inforiver-writeback-matrix/inforiver-writeback-matrix-june-2025-v4.5.3.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
